TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Egg farm Dawushan announced Tuesday that its revenue last year was NT$1.22 billion (US$37.6 million), up 6% year-over-year.

Speaking at an investor’s conference, Dawushan COO Wei Yu-heng (魏毓恆) said processed egg products are a small but growing segment, per CNA. Net profit reached NT$94.8 million, up 31.5%, driven by improved breeding, higher sales, and better efficiency.

Wei said that a new egg grading and processing plant in Changhua is set to open in 2026, with Dawushan targeting a 10% market share, per UDN. It is expected to process over 1 million eggs daily and could reach a 10% market share at full capacity.

Wei added that the company plans to introduce AI-based farming technology for real-time livestock monitoring. This is expected to reduce inspection time by 80%, cut labor costs, and lower error rates, he explained.

Dawushan owns 820,000 hens and operates a 60,000 eggs-per-hour grading facility at its Pingtung headquarters. Additional facilities include a farm housing 300,000 hens in Tainan and egg processing plants in Changhua and Taoyuan.

In March, Dawushan acquired a 51% stake in Fu Chi Foods, which holds about 80% of Taiwan’s iron egg market and 70% of the soft-boiled egg market. Fu Chi’s new Hunei plant will open in Q2, further boosting Dawushan’s capacity.
